Childhood neighbour shares heart-touching story about Jasprit Bumrah's struggles growing up

A renowned journalist and Jasprit Bumrah’s childhood neighbour Deepal Trivedi shared a heartwarming post about his and his family’s struggles while he was growing up. Deepal starts the story by revealing that Bumrah’s mother, Daljit, is her best friend, who asked her to take a leave since she was expecting a baby.

Building on his story, Deepal wrote how she was shaking when the hospital nurse put the newly-born child in her hands. She didn’t own a phone or a bed and had to stay at Bumrah’s house, where she took care of the children.

Deepal added how Bumrah’s family struggled to provide him with basic necessities when he was growing up, and her mother used to work 18 hours a day to run the family. Later, she revealed once she went to buy herself a kurti, but Bumrah wanted a windcheater, so Deepal bought him that rather than having a kurti for herself.

She also revealed that Bumrah’s wife Sanjana served her lunch once while praising Bumrah’s humility despite achieving so much in his career and life.
